Why not treat yourself to some new cushions and try your hand at making your own...
These simple tie cushions are easy to make...
Pick out your own fabrics... A perfect way to give an instant update to any room...

Choose your cushion pad size and cut two fabric squares to fit... Then prepare your facing for the edge of your cushion and tie tabs, this can match your body fabric or be contrast... Here i have used a gorgeous blue and cream striped linen and edged it with a plain cream... Sew it all together for a simple country style cushion...
